Pricing Policy
Bella Balloons has attempted to match online prices to those in stores; however online prices, product and service selection and availability, and sale effective dates may differ from those in store and may vary by geographic region. Due to differences in sale effective dates across the country, items may be available online at the sale price before they are available in stores. Dealers are under no obligation to make promotional products available, or to match online prices until the sale begins in their region. Market conditions and competitive pressures may cause prices and availability to change without further notice. Bella Balloons’ dealers may sell items for less than the prices on this website. Additionally, although great care is taken in the production of the Bella Balloons website, typographical, illustrative or pricing errors may occur. We reserve the right to correct errors at any time.
All prices quoted are payable in Canadian Dollars and do not include shipping charges and, unless otherwise stated, do not include GST, PST, QST or HST.
With respect to items sold by Bella Balloons, we cannot confirm the price of an item until you order; however, we do NOT charge your credit card until after your order has entered the shipping process. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in our catalog may be mispriced. If an item’s correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of that cancellation.
The Site offers limited-time sales values, special buys and items at Bella Balloons’ regular prices. Regular prices shown are the prices at which the products have been sold by Bella Balloons as of the date of issuance indicated. Your order will be deemed to be accepted only at the point when Bella Balloons sends a shipping confirmation email to the email address you provided. If you would like to change your order, call Customer Service toll-free at 1-866-418-2828. Please have your order number ready when you place your call. Do not email us with a request, as emails may not be processed in sufficient time to effect a change to an order during high volume periods.

Shipping, Risk of Loss
If we have your product(s) in stock, we will email you a shipping notice confirming that the items have shipped and are en-route to you; that notice is our acceptance of your order. In-stock orders (excluding special delivery items) normally ship within 2 business days of placing your order. Out-of-stock orders will ship once the item is back in stock, and will be shipped to the address you provide to us. We will send you the shipping notice once the item is back in stock and has been shipped. How soon you receive the product(s) depends on the shipping method you have chosen. The risk of loss and title for purchased items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.
We reserve the right to limit quantities available for sale or sold.

That shipping notice email constitutes our acceptance of your order and forms a legally binding contract with Bella Balloons. The total price of your order will be charged to your credit card when our shipping notice email has been sent to your email address.
